Our Take
Milan's Most Technically Innovative Cocktail Bar
Nottingham Forest has been one of Europe's great cocktail bars for decades. Dario Comini built the bar around technical innovation — molecular cocktails before the term existed, edible bubbles, smoke effects, infused glassware. The room is small and intentional with a serious cocktail menu.
The drinks are theatrical and precise. The cocktail menu rotates regularly with elaborate originals alongside reliable classics. The bartenders explain each technique. The bar earned international reputation through obsessive technical innovation.
The crowd is mid-thirties Milan cocktail enthusiasts and visiting cocktail tourists. Pair with Bar Basso for a complete Milan cocktail evening.
